The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 441 The Cruelty of "The Ninth District"
After quietly completing a change of perspective, the plot of a prawn wearing a red vest leading a small child and another prawn friend looking for things in a mountain of garbage also made the audience feel smoothly. Substituted into the perspective and position of the prawn.

This time, most of the audience can ignore or pay no attention to the ugly appearance and scalp-tingling mouthparts.

The prawn in red seemed to be looking for something. He mentioned a kind of "liquid" in his speech. The prawn found a cylindrical object. The prawn in red took it into the house and poured out a light blue liquid. liquid.

After a complicated extraction process, a few drops of liquid were dropped into a sci-fi black airtight test tube. The red prawn picked up the test tube and said that 20 years of hard work had finally succeeded.

At this time, Zhang Yi brought someone to knock on the door, and the red-clothed prawn asked his companion to hide the test tube, and went to find the small prawn by himself.

After Zhang Yi entered the door, he rummaged left and right, found the hidden test tube, and fiddled with it in his hands. It might have triggered some kind of mechanism, and he was sprayed with black liquid all over his face.

But after wiping his face, there was nothing abnormal, so he put away the test tube and continued the relocation task.

But when the companion of the prawn in red was questioned by the security personnel outside the door, he saw Zhang Yi find and collect the test tube, and attacked him.

Amidst the exclamation in front of the screen, Prawn knocked him down heavily and injured his left arm.

Zhang Yi yelled loudly in anger and fear that the security personnel would kill the prawn that attacked him.

Zhang Yi's trembling expression due to fear and anger echoes the red-clothed prawn hiding behind the house with a trembling head and mouthparts in the montage clip.

The last step of perspective conversion was completed in the audience's exclamation.

There is no doubt that almost all audiences must have begun to empathize with the alien prawn at this time, and the roles of the pros and cons are completely determined at this moment.

Zhang Yi not only injured his left hand, but also vomited profusely, so he had to return to the base for bandage treatment.

On the way back, Zhang Yi suddenly felt a little hungry, but black nosebleeds flowed out while eating on the side of the road.

Zhang Yi, who was still in shock, rushed back to the headquarters. Not only was there black nosebleeds, but the nail on his left index finger also fell off lightly, revealing flesh and blood.

As if the nail was just a leaf that never belonged to him.

Zhang Yi returned home with a pale face. Unexpectedly, his girlfriend organized a birthday party. It was his birthday. Although Zhang Yi still felt very uncomfortable, he still tried his best to hold on with a smile on his face.

But when he was cutting the cake, he couldn't hold it anymore, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and fainted on the spot.

In the hospital, when the bandage on Zhang Yi's left hand was removed by the doctor, there were bursts of exclamations both on and off the screen.

The inside of the bandage turned out to be black, which belonged to the claws of alien prawns.

"Could it be that the function of the black liquid in that test tube is to turn humans into aliens?"

Chief Jia, who was frightened by this horrific scene, then thought of this possibility.

The plot of "The Ninth District" is not brain-burning, and most of the audience soon thought of this.

And then Chief Jia, who realized this, once again praised him from the bottom of his heart.

"Beautiful, this is the soul of this movie. If it only shows the oppression and segregation of alien prawns by human beings, it will be a bit preachy, but if the male main experience is changed from human beings to alien prawns, he becomes If it becomes a wild animal-like alien prawn that he looks down upon from a high position, then the plot will be interesting.

The oppressor has become the oppressed, this perspective is so wonderful, this should be the real topic of this film!

This is actually a metamorphosis with an alien theme!

The Metamorphosis is a famous novel by Kafka, a modernist literary master. An ordinary person who follows the rules, works hard and saves money, and supports his family wakes up one morning and finds that he has turned into a big beetle, so his family starts to dislike him in various ways. , and finally died in pain and hunger.

It's just that in this movie, the hero turned into an alien prawn. "

After thinking that "The Ninth District" might be a sci-fi version of "Metamorphosis", the last vague dissatisfaction in Mr. Jia's heart disappeared. There is no doubt that if it is really a The movie version of "Metamorphosis", then the nomination of Cannes is a matter of course.

Soon some filmmakers in the front row also expressed similar exclamations.

"Is this a metamorphosis?"

"Fantastic."

"The same setting does not mean that you can achieve the same depth, it depends on how you perform later..."

Zhang Yi showed signs of mutation, and the Special Committee on Extraterrestrial Affairs quickly prevented experts from treating Zhang Yi.

With the progress of the treatment, people discovered something unbelievable—the genetic information of human beings in Zhang Yi's body is perfectly combined with the genetic information of alien prawns, and they are undergoing permanent transformation. As the infection expands, they will eventually become a monster. A real alien prawn.

The discovery stunned the top ranks of the Special Committee on Extraterrestrial Affairs.

Soon in the following treatment and experiment, it was discovered that Zhang Yi could use alien weapons with ease.

This has raised the value of Zhang Yi to a higher level.

Human beings sent psychological counselors to provide psychological counseling to Zhang Yi who had a nervous breakdown, and gradually made him accept this fact.

The Special Committee on Extraterrestrial Affairs also decided to continue to hire Zhang Yi as a senior researcher in the future to help humans understand the weapons of alien prawns and even the spaceships that humans have been unable to do so long at high altitudes.

But as time progresses, as Zhang Yi continues to mutate, and as Zhang Yi's value continues to rise, human attitudes towards him are slowly changing.

The changes are subtle but so real.

Back chills.

Only his girlfriend still maintains the same attitude as before towards the male protagonist whose half body has mutated into a prawn, which becomes the only comfort in Zhang Yi's heart.

As for the other medical staff and the experimenters, the way they looked at him gradually changed, and their sympathy gradually disappeared, as if the feeling of looking at a priceless commodity gradually increased, mixed with more and more obvious disgust and curiosity.

Just like many people look at the ugly and uncomfortable body and head of the alien prawn.

The light of a similar kind in his eyes slowly disappeared.

Until one day, a researcher submitted a comprehensive research and experiment plan. In this plan, Zhang Yi's tissues, bone marrow, and blood are all of great research value. During the research process, Zhang Yi will be dismantled. of nothing.

Because Zhang Yi currently has both human genes and genetic material of unknown alien prawns in his body, now is a good time for research. Once the final transformation is completed, Zhang Yi will be a real human being who can only manipulate appearance weapons. For prawns, the research value will be greatly reduced. After all, there are too many prawns in District [-].

Originally, most people would of course object, but in modern society, there are many people who retain a basic conscience.

Treating a human being as an ordinary biological specimen for "inhumane" research is a threshold that is difficult for many people, even those who are greedy for profit.

But is Zhang Yi still human?
As time goes by, as Zhang Yi's mutation becomes deeper and deeper, as he becomes more and more like an alien prawn.

Human attitudes quickly shifted.

What made the high-level committee finally make up their minds was to find an excuse for psychological comfort.

What a painful process it is for a human being to slowly turn into an ugly alien prawn. Is Zhang Yi still Zhang Yi who turned into a prawn monster in the end?Is he still him?

Maybe that's when it became it?

Perhaps the process of Zhang Yi's transformation from human to non-human is the process of his death.

Is it unacceptable to use a dead body for research?

Therefore, the committee quickly made a secret decision to "euthanize" him-they even sincerely believed that doing so was "humane" and that it was true euthanasia, so that Zhang Yi had not completely become a "monster". Kill him to keep his human dignity.

Then do research.

As for his girlfriend, his friend, since he has completely turned into a prawn, he can just find an excuse to say that after he turned into a prawn, his genetic material collapsed and died, and then he can find a corpse of an alien prawn to fool him. .

The experimenters pushed Zhang Yi into a laboratory, and the weak Zhang Yi vaguely saw a bunch of dissected and experimented prawns.

It turns out that human society has been secretly conducting live experiments on alien prawns.

And now he was the next subject to be dissected and studied.

Zhang Yi, who was lying on the bed, stretched out his right hand tremblingly. His unmutated right hand grasped the arm of the committee official standing beside the bed, as if begging not to treat him like this.

And the human being he prayed for cast a look at him through the protective cover that made Zhang Yi's heart sink into the endless abyss.

The eyes of human beings looking at Zhang Yi are no longer looking at a similar person. The small half of Zhang Yi's face has turned into the appearance of an alien prawn. The ginger-yellow cloudy eyes of that alien prawn make people disgusted. The half lip of the tentacles, no, the mouthparts make people feel disgusted instinctively.

Zhang Yi is no longer a human being.

In front of the big screen, there was silence on the breezy beach.

Chief Jia only felt a chill coming from his back at this moment, the movie picture is so chilling, so horrifying, and so ugly at this moment.

What is ugly is not Zhang Yi's half-human, half-prawn face, nor the imploring look in his only remaining human eye and the cloudy light in the other prawn's eyeball.

It's the disgust in the eyes of human beings, no longer looking at the same kind of eyes.

For a moment, the ugliness and sin are so vividly expressed that it makes people uncomfortable and so desperate.

If humans hadn't tried to save Zhang Yi, or showed concern and concern for Zhang Yi's safety, Chief Jia would not have been so uncomfortable.

Just like those evil companies or secret organizations shown in many movies, the human beings there have no sense of morality, they are so cold and evil, they can cut the same kind into pieces and do cruel experiments without changing their expressions.

Such humans are not uncommon in movies and literature.

Isn't that what villains are like?

But "District [-]" didn't.

Just like humans saved the lives of alien prawns in the first place, ordinary people also support the acceptance of alien refugees, and also set up special settlements for them, and give them free food and supplies.

People care about alien refugees, human beings have sympathy, human beings are noble, human beings have kindness and compassion, and they are willing to show their kindness and compassion.

But 20 years later, how do humans view the Ninth District and the alien refugees living in the Ninth District?
Human beings also have compassion, sympathy, and concern for Zhang Yi, who is of the same kind. Even if he is persuaded to accept the agreement of a senior researcher to cooperate in the research of alien weapons, it also shows respect for Zhang Yi's life and wishes.

But how did it become so fast?
What is the basis of human empathy and compassion for the same kind?

When Zhang Yi is no longer the image of a normal person, he starts to alienate, he starts to look like a monster, and he starts to grow the mouthparts of an alien prawn.

Human guilt began to fade rapidly.

Is Zhang Yi, who is half shrimp and half human, still the same kind?

Even if Chief Jia wants to defend human beings, he has no way of defending at this moment.

And this is the cruelest part of "District [-]".

He's not showing "ugly" humanity, he's just showing humanity.

Tell everyone in front of the screen, look, this is human nature.

"District [-]" is even crueler than "Metamorphosis".
